Next Generation Science Standards: For States, By States

Next Generation Science Standards: For States, By States

<p><em>Next Generation Science Standards</em> identifies the science all K-12 students should know. These new standards are based on the National Research Council's <em>A Framework for K-12 Science Education</em>. The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve have partnered to create standards through a collaborative state-led process. The standards are rich in content and practice and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education.</p> <p>The print version of <em>Next Generation Science Standards</em> complements the nextgenscience.org website and:</p> <ul> <li>Provides an authoritative offline reference to the standards when creating lesson plans</li> <li>Arranged by grade level and by core discipline, making information quick and easy to find</li> <li>Printed in full color with a lay-flat spiral binding</li> <li>Allows for bookmarking, highlighting, and annotating</li> </ul> <hr/>Table of Contents<br/><ul><li>Front Matter</li><li>NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS: Arranged by Disciplinary Core Ideas</li><li>Connections to Standards: Arranged by Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs)</li><li>NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS: Arranged by Topics</li><li>Connections to Standards: Arranged by Topics</li><li>VOLUME 2: APPENDIXES</li><li>APPENDIX A: Conceptual Shifts in the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX B: Responses to the Public Drafts</li><li>APPENDIX C: College And Career Readiness</li><li>APPENDIX D: "All Standards, All Students": Making the Next Generation Science Standards Accessible to All Students</li><li>APPENDIX E: Disciplinary Core Idea Progressions in the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX F: Science and Engineering Practices in the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX G: Crosscutting Concepts in the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX H: Understanding the Scientific Enterprise: The Nature of Science in the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX I: Engineering Design in the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX J: Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment</li><li>APPENDIX K: Model Course Mapping in Middle and High School for the Next Generation Science Standards</li><li>APPENDIX L: Connections to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics</li><li>APPENDIX M: Connections to the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects</li></ul>
